Predict the Rudy Gobert trade

Yeah, we look like this quite a bit. Our wings and #6 being planted in the paint while wide open 3's are going up.

You do realize #6 in this case isn't in any fault here, right? He might even be deterring a designated post-up play. The mistake happens when 2 players try to rotate to one guy. If the defensive rotation was fairly executed, we would see if #6 would be quick enough to rotate back.

That's why I said what I said. The wings screwed up to start. However, there were no post threats and #6's guy was also wide *** open and ready to shoot it. He should have helped out.

For us, our perimeter defenders are weak, and Rudy stays planted to the paint sometimes.

I'm not sure what to think on a potential Rudy trade. If we don't move him there is some risk an outsider marginalizes his role... I'm torn on Quin stepping down meaning Rudy is gone and it meaning he is not being traded and Quin saw no way forward because of lack of changes.

Quin mentioning Rudy in the presser may mean he sees Rudy being moved and so he's out... it could all mean nothing and it could be really just Quin is broken and needs some time to rest.

The real question... If Rudy is traded who will eat lunch with Donovan sometimes?

I honestly don’t really have an idea where this is going. I could see either Gobert or Mitchell getting moved in the next 3 weeks but also wouldn’t be surprised if neither did.

There was a post threat as otherwise there wouldn't be much need for rotation and the offensive team wouldn't directly set it up. You can see how defensive players gravitate towards it and there seems to be some size advantage.

#6 didn't rotate because the pass never happened.

There was zero post threat. The pass went to the corner and he should have seen that two guys were wide freaking open up top. Any effort would have been better than just standing stuck in the paint.

They touch the paint as soon as the ball goes into the paint, clearly they are worried. The pass only happens because the paint is sealed off. #6 is not responsible for the **** up. If the wings execute it properly we can see if he recovers back but he can't jump rotation because that puts 3 guys on 2 and leaves a clear path to the rim. Also the guy he is sagging off is Bourousis, not very well known as a shooter.
 
Gobert got torched on defense in isolation in the playoffs this year. That is 100% a fact. Who cares what he did in the regular season we need him to perform in the playoffs. 1.92 PPP is ****ing trash.

Donovan has the skills and ability to be a good defender and when we get a coach who’s idea of defense isn’t to funnel everything to one big man you will see that.

Rudy sucks on offense and is a liability. He eats up so much of our cap for being so limited it blows.
Good luck for Mitchell getting to the hoop and shooting wide open threes with Gobert traded, and good luck hitting 40+ wins.
 
If you trade either Mitchell or Gobert to every team. How many teams are better with Gobert, how many with Mitchell? You can make an argument that Gobert makes every team better and with Mitchell at most half would be.

Every single NBA team is better if you add Donovan Mitchell. Every single one.

Philly and Denver are not better if you add Rudy Gobert.

No argument is needed. This is over.
